Aider enables developers to interactively generate, modify, and test code by leveraging both cloud-hosted and local LLMs directly from the terminal or within an IDE. Key capabilities include comprehensive codebase mapping, support for over 100 programming languages, automated git commit messages, voice-to-code interactions, and built-in linting and testing workflows. Installation is straightforward via pip or uv, and while the tool itself has no licensing cost, actual usage costs stem from the underlying LLM APIs, which are billed separately by providers like OpenAI or Anthropic.
Key Features
Cloud & Local LLM Support Connect to most major LLM providers out of the box, or run models locally for privacy and cost control aider.chat.
Codebase Mapping Automatically indexes all project files so that even large repositories can be edited contextually aider.chat.
100+ Language Support Works with Python, JavaScript, Rust, Ruby, Go, C++, PHP, HTML, CSS, and dozens more aider.chat.
Git Integration Generates sensible commit messages and automates diffs/undo operations through familiar git tooling aider.chat.
Voice-to-Code Speak commands to Aider to request features, tests, or fixes without typing aider.chat.
Images & Web Pages Attach screenshots, diagrams, or documentation URLs to provide visual context for edits aider.chat.
Linting & Testing Runs lint and test suites automatically after each change, and can fix issues it detects
Sourcetree and GitHub Desktop are both free, GUI-based Git clients aimed at simplifying version control for developers. While they share the same core purpose—making Git more accessible—they differ in features, UI design, integration options, and target audiences.
The addon is a full 3DGS editing and rendering suite for Blender.3DGS scans can be created from .OBJ files, or 3DGS .PLY files can be imported as mesh objects, offering two distinct workflows. The created objects can be manipulated, animated and rendered inside Blender. Or Blender can be used as an intermediate editing and painting software – with the results being exportable to other 3DGS software and viewers.
The power output of a light source is measured using the unit of watts W. This is a direct measure to calculate how much power the light is going to drain from your socket and it is not relatable to the light brightness itself.
The amount of energy emitted from it per second. That energy comes out in a form of photons which we can crudely represent with rays of light coming out of the source. The higher the power the more rays emitted from the source in a unit of time.
Not all energy emitted is visible to the human eye, so we often rely on photometric measurements, which takes in account the sensitivity of human eye to different wavelenghts
